Ownwell cites a 2.39% effective rate for Brunswick -- more than double the national median -- while a separate mill-rate-derived estimate suggests a meaningfully lower ~1.0%-1.15% rate. This record does not force these figures to agree.
A real, elevated median tax bill
Brunswick's median annual tax bill ran approximately $5,266, about $2,866 above Maine's own median bill -- consistent with the town's elevated home values regardless of which rate figure applies.
Maine's real, statewide income tax structure applies
Maine taxes income across a real, inflation-indexed three-bracket structure (5.8%/6.75%/7.15% top rate above ~$58,050 single), layered for 2026 with a new 2% millionaire's-tax surcharge above $1M/$1.5M income.
